MHW, I concatenated my initial comments as an answer to your original question. Cheers.


@MHW, you're correct on the use of ZoneHVAC:IdealLoadsAirSystem to address your needs. Note: I updated your Engineering Reference link to 24.1 (updated since from 8.0). I suggest you check out as well the 24.1 IO Reference:

  • how required energy is metered/reported
  • required fields
  • actual outputs
  • better documented in general

You may also find it insightful to consult related issues, past or current. And consulting any example file(s) that come with EnergyPlus is always useful.
